Bush Administration Aided Bin Ladens Escape

I know, old news, but now a CIA Commander is confirming this.

In his book titled "Jawbreaker" the decorated career CIA officer criticizes Donald Rumsfeld's Defense Department for not providing enough support to the CIA and the Pentagon's own Special Forces teams in the final hours of Tora Bora, says Berntsen's lawyer, Roy Krieger. (Berntsen would not divulge the book's specifics, saying he's awaiting CIA clearance.) That backs up other recent accounts, including that of military author Sean Naylor, who calls Tora Bora a "strategic disaster" because the Pentagon refused to deploy a cordon of conventional forces to cut off escaping Qaeda and Taliban members. Maj. Todd Vician, a Defense Department spokesman, says the problem at Tora Bora "was not necessarily just the number of troops."

This was a hot button issue in the Fall, when the Kerry Camp pointed out that Bush Administration Policies had allowed Bin Laden to escape. Of course, since this was during the election, it was denounced by the right as being a treasonous lie.

It would appear that the real act of treason would have been allowing Bin Laden to run free, but different points of view are not uncommon.

Remember Bush didn't care about Bin Laden, we can all recall this bold statement by George:

I don't know where he is. Nor, you know, I just don't spend that much time on him really, to be honest with you. I....I truly am not that concerned about him.

So unconcerned, that Bush seldom mentions him, unless directly asked. It was Saddam he was focused on. Why worry about those who are attacking you, when you can focus on someone who has no ability to attack you. The Bush administration had their own plan, focus on Saddam, ignore Bin Laden.

Yet, this is the man who ordered the attack on our country. This is the man who has inspired thousands to join his war on the west, and this is the man George chooses to ignore.

Inspiring, isn't he.

Of course lets not forget the overall reaction to Kerry's claims last fall.

The right attacked and vilified Kerry for telling the truth, and defended and supported Bush for his helping this mass murderer escape.

Also inspiring, isn't it.
